Polyether solvents are considered interesting and important candidates for Li-O-2 battery systems. Discharge of Li-O-2 battery systems forms Li oxides. Their mechanism of formation is complex. The stability of most relevant polar aprotic solvents toward these Li oxides is questionable. Specially high surface area carbon electrodes were developed for the present work In this study, several spectroscopic tools and in situ measurements using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) were employed to explore the discharge-charge processes and related side reactions in Li-O-2 battery systems containing electrolyte solutions based on triglyme/lithium bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) electrolyte solutions. The systematic mechanism of lithium oxides formation was monitored. A combination of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), NMR, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) measurements in conjunction with electrochemical studies demonstrated the intrinsic instability and incompatibility of polyether solvents for Li-air batteries.
